  Procédé de     préparation        d'une        succinimide.            L'invention    se rapporte à un procédé de  préparation d'une     succinimide    possédant une  activité     chimiothérapeutique,    la     N-éthyl-ëc,a-          diméthylsuccinimide,    de formule  
EMI0001.0009     
    Selon l'invention, cette     succinimide    est pré  parée en     faisant    réagir l'acide     a,a-diméthyl-          succin.ique    ou l'anhydride     a,

  a-diméthylsuccini-          que    avec au moins un équivalent     chimique          d'éthylamine,    et en     chauffant    le produit inter  médiaire     ainsi    formé à une     température    com  prise entre 100 et 350  C.  



  Pour l'exécution de la première partie     (Iii     procédé, il est avantageux, quoique non essen  tiel, d'employer un solvant     inerte    tel que l'eau,  un alcool     aliphatique    inférieur ou un mélange  de     tels        alcools,    l'éther, le benzène, le toluène  ou     semblables,    pour faciliter la réaction de  l'acide ou de     l'anhydride    avec     l'éthylamine.     Il est indiqué d'employer     plusieurs    équivalents       d'éthylamine    par     équivalent    d'acide ou d'an  hydride     a,

  a-diméthylsucciniques.        Les    produits  intermédiaires sont     différents    selon celle des  deux matières premières     susindiquées    que l'on  a employée, et     aussi    selon la quantité     d'éthyl-          amine    utilisée.

   Lorsqu'on emploie l'anhydride         a;a-diméthylsuccinique    avec un équivalent       d'éthylamin.e,    le produit intermédiaire est la       semi-amide,    tandis que si deux ou     plus    de  deux équivalents     d'éthylamine    sont employés,  le produit intermédiaire est le sel     d'éthylamine     de la     semi-amide    de l'acide     a,a-diméthylsucci-          nique.    Dans le cas où l'on emploie     l'acide          a,:

  a-diméthylsuccinique    comme matière de dé  part, le produit     intermédiaire    est le sel     mono-          ou        di-éthylaminique    de l'acide     a,a-diméthyl-          succinique.    Ces     produits        intermédiaires    peu  vent être     convertis    en la     succinimide    désirée  en     les    chauffant à une température comprise  entre 100 et 350  C.

   La température préférée  pour cette conversion se trouve dans la région  de 190 à 210  C, température à laquelle la  réaction     est    complète au bout     d'environ    une  heure.  



  Le produit obtenu par le     procédé        selon     l'invention est une nouvelle     substance    ayant  un     point        d'ébullition    de     76-77     C sous 5     mm     Hg et     possède    de précieuses     propriétés    théra  peutiques et est particulièrement utile     pour     le traitement du     type    petit mal de     l'épilepsie.     



  L'invention     est        illustrée    par les exemples       suivants     <I>Exemple 1:</I>  On ajoute     graduellement    10 g d'acide     a,a-          diméthylsuccinique    à 20 g     d'éthylamine    aqueuse  et élimine     ensuite    l'eau et     l'excès    d'amine par       distillation.    La     température    du résidu est éle  vée et maintenue à 200  C jusqu'à ce     qu'il     n'y     ait    plus     dégagement        d'éthylamine.    On dis  

  tille le résidu     dans    le vide et obtient la N-           éthyl-a, -diméthylsuccinimidecherchée;    P. E.       76-77         C/5        mm.        Rendement:        76        %.     



  <I>Exemple 2:</I>  On ajoute graduellement 10 g d'anhydride       a,a-diméthylsuccinique    à 10 g     d'éthylamine     dans de     l'éthanol;        puis    l'alcool et     -'amine    en       excès    sont     éliminés    par     distillation.    On     chauffe     le     résidu    à 210  C jusqu'à ce qu'il n'y ait plus  dégagement     d'éthylamine;

      on le distille en  suite     dans    le     vide    et l'on obtient la     N-éthyl-          a,a-diméthylsuceinimide    cherchée; P. E. 76 à  77      C/5    mm. Rendement: 79 0/0.



  Process for preparing a succinimide. The invention relates to a process for preparing a succinimide having chemotherapeutic activity, N-ethyl-ëc, α-dimethylsuccinimide, of formula
EMI0001.0009
    According to the invention, this succinimide is prepared by reacting the α, α-dimethyl-succin.ique acid or the anhydride α,

  a-dimethylsuccinic with at least one chemical equivalent of ethylamine, and heating the intermediate product thus formed to a temperature between 100 and 350 C.



  For carrying out the first part (III process, it is advantageous, although not essential, to employ an inert solvent such as water, a lower aliphatic alcohol or a mixture of such alcohols, ether, benzene. , toluene or the like, to facilitate the reaction of the acid or anhydride with ethylamine. It is indicated to use several equivalents of ethylamine per equivalent of acid or anhydride a,

  a-dimethylsuccinics. The intermediate products are different depending on which of the two above-mentioned raw materials is used, and also depending on the amount of ethylamine used.

   When α; α-dimethylsuccinic anhydride is used with one equivalent of ethylamine, the intermediate is the half-amide, while if two or more equivalents of ethylamine are used, the intermediate is α, α-Dimethylsuccinic acid half-amide ethylamine salt. In the case where acid a is used:

  α-Dimethylsuccinic As a starting material, the intermediate product is the mono- or di-ethylamine salt of α, α-dimethyl-succinic acid. These intermediates can be converted to the desired succinimide by heating them to a temperature between 100 and 350 C.

   The preferred temperature for this conversion is in the region of 190-210 C, at which temperature the reaction is complete after about one hour.



  The product obtained by the process according to the invention is a new substance having a boiling point of 76-77 C at 5 mm Hg and has valuable therapeutic properties and is particularly useful for the treatment of the mild illness type. epilepsy.



  The invention is illustrated by the following examples <I> Example 1: </I> 10 g of α, α-dimethylsuccinic acid are gradually added to 20 g of aqueous ethylamine and then the water and excess d amine by distillation. The temperature of the residue is raised and maintained at 200 ° C. until there is no more evolution of ethylamine. We say

  The residue is filtered off in vacuo and the desired N-ethyl-a, -dimethylsuccinimide is obtained; P. E. 76-77 C / 5 mm. Yield: 76%.



  <I> Example 2: </I> 10 g of α, α-dimethylsuccinic anhydride is gradually added to 10 g of ethylamine in ethanol; then the excess alcohol and -'amine are removed by distillation. The residue is heated to 210 ° C. until there is no further evolution of ethylamine;

      it is then distilled in vacuo and the desired N-ethyl-a, a-dimethylsuceinimide is obtained; P. E. 76 to 77 C / 5 mm. Yield: 79%.
